Utah Gem Hunting

This is an excellent resource for anyone interersted in th4e geology of Utah, in particular, where to go and actually handle a wide variety of rocks and minerals. The illustrations and maps are very well done; I am loking forward to visiting many of the sites this summer.

One of the best

This book was the best guide to out of the way Utah we could have hoped for. Some of the sites are very well known and collected, others not so. Our vacation consisted of following the locations in the book, with plenty of sidetracks of our own inbetween. The specimens from some sites are fantastic. Using this book as a guide in the way we did, we learned how to spot promising areas anywhere. We have subsequently purchased the Gemtrails of Arizona, and New Mexico and loved them the same way. A review of one of these mentions wishing for GPS coordinates. Although a moden update with those might be nice, we rarely had difficulty finding the sites. And as I mentioned, the inbetween explorations were productive and beautiful too.
